Chen Jingrui looked at Li Shaoan and said with a smile: "What? You don't welcome us old comrades?"
Li Shaoan hurriedly said: "No, no, no, with you always here to take charge, I feel much more at ease. However, it is not clear yet whether that door will bring other dangers. I am worried that you are here..."
Chen Jingrui waved his hand: "Don't worry about me, Shao An, I'm not here to join in the fun, but to really bring you a helper. I believe that with her help, it will be easier to explore the secrets in this door."
"
"Ah?" Li Shaoan didn't understand.
Chen Jingrui said no more, turned around, and led a little boy who was following him to him.
Li Shaoan was even more confused when he saw this: 'What can such a child do?'
However, Chen Jingrui said confidently: "This child's name is Luo Bao'er. He is a child prodigy with extraordinary talents. I will hand him over to you today. You must treat him well."
As he said that, he put the little boy's hand in Li Shaoan's.
Li Shaoan held Luo Baoer's hand and felt a strange warmth. The child, who was estimated to be only four or five years old, was not afraid of strangers. With a faint smile on his face, he lowered his head slightly and said obediently:
"Hello Uncle Li."
"Okay..." Li Shaoan was a little embarrassed and wanted to ask for more details, but felt that the situation was not right, so he accepted the child first.
After the crowd dispersed, Li Shaoan also arranged for Minister Chen to rest before returning to his room.
It was already past seven in the morning.
Luo Baoer sat quietly in the room and stared at a cup of tea for a long time.
He didn't look away until Li Shaoan entered the room.
When Li Shaoan saw this little boy, he felt very strange because he was too quiet and didn't look like a child at all.
"Bao'er, uncle wants to ask you a few questions, is that okay?"
Luo Baoer nodded.
"You..." was agreed, but Li Shaoan didn't know how to ask, because everything was too sudden, just like the "door" and Wu Shutong's death. Everything in these days was like this.
It was sudden and puzzling.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Shaoan asked: "What are your parents' names? Do I know them?"
Luo Baoer shook his head: "I don't know who my parents are. It was my master who raised me."
‘Orphan?!’ Li Shaoan frowned: “Your master? What is his name?”
"His name is Luo Yuan, a reclusive old farmer."
'A child raised by a reclusive old farmer? This...' Li Shao'an didn't believe that this child had the ability to help him at all. Even if he was very smart and had an extraordinary IQ, he would still need to be polished to become a great person, but now...
"Uncle, are you doubting that I can't help you?"
'Uh...' Li Shaoan was startled and thought to himself: 'This kid is quite powerful, but so what...just a child.'
So Li Shaoan nodded: "It's not suspicion, but what happened here, not to mention a child, even the professors who have worked hard for many years may not be able to solve it. These...can you understand?"
Luo Baoer stopped talking. He lowered his head and his eyes fell on the cup again.
When Li Shaoan saw this, he couldn't help but thought to himself: 'Am I exaggerating... After all, he is the child brought by Minister Chen. No matter what, he should have some extraordinary qualities.
It’s...but...hey...it’s better to coax him, it’s time to take care of the child.’
However, before Li Shaoan could speak, Luo Baoer said: "That door is a gift, a gift from the Creator to mankind, just like the fire left by thunder and rain. Before you can use it, it is a devil.
It will destroy everything, but we still learned it. Just like an innate ability, wild animals may slowly discover that they will not be burned as long as they do not get too close to the fire, but they will never learn to use fire, and we
Different... so... what's inside this door is a gift, and we have to get it."
Li Shaoan was stunned. He couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of a four or five-year-old child.
His calm tone was like stating a fact, without any guesswork or pretentiousness.
After a while, Li Shaoan came back to his senses. His attitude completely changed and he became very cautious.
"You...really understand what you said?"
Luo Baoer smiled: "Uncle, do you doubt me?"
Li Shaoan was not a fool. He sat opposite Luo Baoer, looked at the child and said, "Shouldn't I be suspicious?"
After hearing this, Luo Baoer scratched his head and said with some distress: "Uncle Chen told me before coming here that you are a very cautious person and will look at everything with suspicion first. This is your advantage, but it is also the same
It's your shortcoming, I didn't understand it at first, but now I seem to understand it."
After Li Shaoan was silent for a while, he laughed and said, "Do you really understand, you little one?"
Luo Baoer also laughed: "I'm not sure, but I feel it, just like these things around you and me now, they have been observing us and observing our every move to determine whether we are qualified to receive
This gift, now they seem to be disappointed, that feeling...a little sad..."
As Luo Baoer spoke, his smile disappeared and he changed into a sad look.
His emotions were clearly revealed. Li Shaoan frowned. Although he was still a little skeptical in his heart, this kind of personality was indeed his strength and his weakness. He had to believe that what Luo Baoer said was true, so that he could deal with the worst.
Case.
Just like they are observing humans...
"They? Who are they? Aliens?"
Luo Baoer smiled and said nothing. He pointed to the water glass in front of him and asked: "Uncle, what is this?"
Li Shaoan replied strangely: "A glass of water, what's wrong?"
Luo Baoer said: "But why do I only see water and not the cup?"
Li Shaoan felt even more strange. He leaned out and looked at the glass of water carefully. After confirming that the cup existed, he said: "How could it be possible? The cup is right here. Look..." Li Shaoan raised his head after saying that.
My hand wants to pick up the glass of water.
But something strange happened the moment this move happened.
"What?!" Li Shaoan missed the opportunity, or rather...he didn't get the cup, and his hand just passed through the water.
Luo Baoer smiled: "I'm right, uncle, there are no cups here, only water. Just like this room, it doesn't actually exist. We are sitting on a stone by the salt lake."
When Li Shaoan's surprise reached its peak, he realized that some kind of danger was approaching, but Luo Baoer's words became more and more vague, as if they were constantly moving away from him.
'What's going on? Hypnosis? Who is this kid! Him?!...him!'
Li Shaoan felt dizzy, and the whole world was twisting and sinking in front of his eyes.
I don't know how long it took, it seemed that the pain had tortured Li Shaoan for days, years... or even centuries, and the time had become so long... But when everything was over, Li Shaoan felt that everything had just happened in an instant.
When he came back to his senses, the wind blew on him, and waves of chill made him shrink involuntarily.
'What's wrong with me...' Li Shao'an has never experienced such a weird thing. He blinked, looked around, and then looked shocked: 'I...where am I?'
Everything as far as the eye can see is desolate, and in the empty world there is only the "door" not far away and the cold earth underfoot.
Luo Baoer was still sitting opposite him, but he was not sitting on the sofa, but on a stone, with a smile on his face: "Uncle, do you see the world clearly now?"
"See the world clearly? What...what do you mean?" The hangover-like headache was still tormenting Li Shaoan, but it was much better than before.
Luo Baoer said softly: "If there were no humans on the earth, the world would be like this."
"Nothing?" Li Shaoan frowned. He looked around and couldn't help but sneered: "There are no humans. Is this the feeling of being deserted?"
Luo Baoer shook his head in disappointment: "Just because I can't see myself, I classify this world as desolate... Sure enough, we are not worthy of this gift..."
After saying that, before Li Shaoan could speak again, Luo Baoer raised his hand and waved lightly, and then Li Shaoan felt like the world was spinning again.
When he woke up again, Li Shaoan found that he was still sitting in the room, but the child was no longer in the room.
Just when I was wondering, the assistant pushed open the door and walked in: "Director, Director Chen and the others are here!"
Li Shaoan was stunned: "Minister Chen? Isn't Minister Chen already here?"
The assistant was also stunned, obviously not understanding what Li Shaoan was talking about. He grinned and then said: "Uh... yes, Minister Chen's special plane has just arrived. Do you want to go and greet it?"
Just arrived?
Li Shaoan was completely confused. He clearly remembered that he had arranged for Minister Chen to rest in the camp. Why...
…
"Minister Chen? You...why did you come here in person?"
Chen Jingrui replied with a serious face: "This matter is not trivial. The superiors are very concerned about it. If I don't come down and take charge of it for you, can you handle it alone?"
Li Shaoan was startled. In his memory, he clearly remembered that Minister Chen had a smile on his face, but now...
"No, no, no, Minister Chen, I don't mean anything else. It's just that the situation is unknown now, and no one can guarantee whether that door will bring other dangers, so..."
"You don't have to worry about that, just take care of your duties." After saying that, Chen Jingrui walked straight to the camp.
Li Shaoan froze in place. He didn't realize who he had angered, because at this moment he was still thinking about where the child was.
Why didn't he show up again?
Is he in the crowd?
Li Shaoan hurriedly looked over one by one, but until everyone entered the camp and the plane moved to the parking space, Li Shaoan did not see the child.
